10/3
Won a soft ground Tramore novices' chase in January but has been beaten since in a couple starts over the larger obstacles where his jumping has been a little sketchy. Not in the form required to play a part.

12/1
Six-time chase winner including on a couple of occasions in 2018. Beaten over hurdles recently but holds a major place claims on form earlier in the season.

9/2
Has looked a bit of a thinker over fences and has failed to complete on each of his last two starts at Limerick and Punchestown. Requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

7/2
Plenty of encouragement in a couple of starts over the larger obstacles at Down Royal and Clonmel since the turn of the year. The mare finished a promising second of 10 beaten 6L on her latest start last month and is an interesting contender here.

6/1
Finished 58L adrift of Allduckornodinner over C&D on St Stephens Day and has been well beaten in a couple of starts since including finishing behind Ballybrowney Walk at Down Royal. Others more appealing on the balance of recent starts.

11/2
Seven-race chase maiden who put in a career best at Clonmel over 2m in December finishing second of eight beaten ¾L behind All The Chimneys. Nothing of note since and hard to make a case for him on form to hand.
7

Age: 7|  Weight: 10-1| J: A W Short(3)| T: P J Rothwell| OR:  82
7/1
22 race maiden and without success in six starts over fences. Encouraging third of 12 beaten 4¼L behind Punches Cross in a naas handicap chase when last seen in December. Needs to improve once again.

Forecasts

Crazyheart (10/3), Ballybrowney Walk (7/2), The Ballyboys (9/2), Perfect Leader (11/2), Bective Cave (6/1), Jimmyjames (7/1), Dark Outsider (12/1)

Verdict

BALLYBROWNEY WALK can build on a couple of starts over the larger obstacles at Down Royal and Clonmel since the turn of the year and land the spoils here ahead of her potentially biggest danger, the Paul Nolan-trained Crazyheart who goes better with cut in the ground. Possible improver Jimmyjames can claim third position.
  1. Ballybrowney Walk
  2. Crazyheart
  3. Jimmyjames
